Hello, great information. Question, does an AP share the same SSID as my router? I need to get more wifi strength to my security cameras and if I connect an AP closer to them, will that bring the signal closer or do I have to reassign a new SSID for the AP and then reconnect my cameras to that? Thank you for the support.

Tp link sell wifi devices which can work in an Access point mode or in a router mode... Whats the difference ? An ap is a wireless lan Switch , does that mean they will get a lan IP address , the same network as the desktop wired pc ? I don't get that much the difference between those two ?
@piotrkraczkowski6729
@piotrkraczkowski6729 5 років тому
Shortly: if you do not have WiFi Internet and you are forced to connect internet via modem and ARJ45 cable, then you can connect your repeater to the one of few connections of the the modem via ARJ45 cable and use the AP-Mode of the repeater. Why: 1. You get WiFi-LAN this way and you pay your provider only for cheaper modem instead paying for router with WiFi-LAN: 5,- dollar monthly for modem plus once 20,- dollar for AP-repeater is less then 10,- dollar monthly for WiFi-router. 2. You do not loose the internet speed using WiFi-router and WiFi-repeaters in long distances and through big walls as you connect to the internet using th ARJ-45 cable and only in the last room/area you take Waves form the AP mode of the repeater.

can i connect an old router somewhere in my house and use it as a wifi repeater? I want to avoid the strengthening of my wfi because i don't know if it is dangerous for my health the strong wifi connection. I will appreciate your answer.
@KingdaToro
@KingdaToro 5 років тому
Wi-Fi is not dangerous. what you want to do is use it as an access point, not as a repeater. This requires a wired Ethernet connection to your existing network. When used as a repeater, it has to use half its Wi-Fi bandwidth to communicate with the router, which means that any devices connected to it lose half their speed.

if i use WAP as an extender, will it be different wifi SSID and password from my router+wifi? Can i make it the same so i don't have to choose which wifi i want my phone to connect to but at the same time will switch automatically to the strongest signal?
@NexGenT
@NexGenT 6 років тому
To be able to automatically roam between access points you need some type of wireless controller to manage the SSID and associated APs. There are now small office / home office wireless setups that do provide this type of service, but when using a regular extender or just adding a second regular AP to your network you are running a completely separate SSID to access the same network.

So if you have an ethernet cable that comes from other floor and I plug it in my access point can I turn the wired signal to wifi?
@KingdaToro
@KingdaToro 5 років тому
As long as that Ethernet cable is connected to your router or to a switch that's connected to your router, yes. If it's connected to your modem, it needs to connect to the WAN/Internet port of your router.

@KingdaToro

Those are also routers. Think of an AP as a wireless switch, it only understands MAC addresses and doesn't deal with IP addresses. It will always broadcast on the same subnet it's connected to.

@derekec

Confused. My wireless router is a standalone device that is connected to modem via ethernet cable and sends wireless to my devices. Sounds like an AP. But it's firmware gives choice of a "station" or "AP" mode. It's "Station" by default and works fine. In fact switching to "AP" mode does not connect me to the internet and says something like "looking for users". So...it's not an "AP" out of the box??? Can't get it to work in AP mode anyway.
@hichamz29
@hichamz29 5 років тому
in AP mode it works like a switch. Usually, it is behind a router
@KingdaToro
@KingdaToro 5 років тому
"AP" mode disables the router part of the device. You'd use AP mode if you have a separate router that you're connecting it to, as a router is always necessary for internet access. In "station" mode it is both an AP and router.

Does this mean that if my Wi-Fi Router's network name/SSID is "Internet2.4", all Wireless Access Point will show only one network name "Internet2.4" regardless of which WAP a device is connected? If so, does a device automatically connects to the network regardless of which WAP he/she is nearest to. ...Or a person needs to manually connect to a specific WAP depending on which room the person is and which WAP is nearest to him? I hope someone could help me clarify what's on my mind. Thanks!

I cant find an answer to this anywhere. I have a wired LAN in the house. And another wired LAN in a remote building. I want to wirelessly connect the 2 wired LANS. I guess I need a "Wired Access Point" or something? I only need one wired connection which can of course go to my switch in the remote building. This configuration seems to not exist? I realize the attached wired LAN will run only at wireless speeds, but that's OK. The devices out there are all wired, not wireless.

Hopefully someone on here can help me! I have a problem that seems like it should be easy to solve, but the solution eludes me. I'm a home user. I have Comcast internet, setup with a wireless router. But one end of my house doesn't get a good signal so I bought a combo device to fix it. Now here's the part that seems like it should be easy....I have a hardline running to the other end of the house, so I can plug it into the new device and broadcast a signal from there. What i WANT is for it to be the SAME network as my original, not a second wireless network showing up. HOW DO I DO IT??
@rikimbili
@rikimbili 3 роки тому
for the secondary router, you have to set it to amplify the existing signal in the operating mode settings. It varies for every router but look through the options it gives you, many times it explains what each does.

Before watching this, did you think "router" meant "the thing that gives you Wi-Fi"? If so, then you needed to know it. Routers have nothing to do with Wi-Fi, they just route data traffic between different networks. Any time you're connecting to Wi-Fi, you're connecting to an AP, which may or may not be built into a router.
